If I wanted to get my opportunity to interview at Google or Amazon for SDE roles in the next 6-8 months…

Here’s exactly how I’d approach it (I’ve taught this to 100s of students and followed it myself to land interviews at 3+ FAANGs):

β–Ί Step 1: Learn to Code (from scratch, even if you’re from non-CS background)

I helped my sister go from zero coding knowledge (she studied Biology and Electrical Engineering) to landing a job at Microsoft.

We started with:
- A simple programming language (C++, Java, Python β€” pick one)
- FreeCodeCamp on YouTube for beginner-friendly lectures
- Key rule: Don’t just watch. Code along with the video line by line.

Time required: 30–40 days to get good with loops, conditions, syntax.

β–Ί Step 2: Start with DSA before jumping to development

Why?
- 90% of tech interviews in top companies focus on Data Structures & Algorithms
- You’ll need time to master it, so start early.

Start with:
- Arrays β†’ Linked List β†’ Stacks β†’ Queues
- You can follow the DSA videos on my channel.
- Practice while learning is a must.

β–Ί Step 3: Follow a smart topic order

Once you’re done with basics, follow this path:

1. Searching & Sorting
2. Recursion & Backtracking
3. Greedy
4. Sliding Window & Two Pointers
5. Trees & Graphs
6. Dynamic Programming
7. Tries, Heaps, and Union Find

Make revision notes as you go β€” note down how you solved each question, what tricks worked, and how you optimized it.

β–Ί Step 4: Start giving contests (don’t wait till you’re β€œready”)

Most students wait to β€œfinish DSA” before attempting contests.
That’s a huge mistake.

Contests teach you:
- Time management under pressure
- Handling edge cases
- Thinking fast

Platforms: LeetCode Weekly/ Biweekly, Codeforces, AtCoder, etc.
And after every contest, do upsolving β€” solve the questions you couldn’t during the contest.

β–Ί Step 5: Revise smart

Create a β€œRevision Sheet” with 100 key problems you’ve solved and want to reattempt.

Every 2-3 weeks, pick problems randomly and solve again without seeing solutions.

This trains your recall + improves your clarity.

Java Constructor Interview Questions:

1. What are Constructors?
- Constructor is a method which is used to initialize an instance of the class.

2. How does Constructor differ from a normal method?
- Constructor has same name as class name. It doesn't have a return type. Constructor gets invoked only when instance of the object is getting created.

3. Can we invoke one Constructor from another Constructor?
- Yes. Using this keyword.

4. Can we invoke superclass Constructor from Child class?
- Yes. Using super keyword.

You will not learn system design in a month.
You will not master DSA in a month.
You will not suddenly understand how to solve problems at scale in a month.
You won’t grasp scalability, databases, and caching overnight.

And you most definitely won’t internalize every distributed system pattern just by reading a few blogs.

Because software engineering is an ocean: deep, vast, and ever-expanding.
And you can’t cross an ocean in a single leap.

In a month, you’ll realize you’re only scratching the surface.
You’ll see more gaps than answers.
You’ll feel like there’s too much to learn and too little time.

But that’s where most people give up.
That’s where frustration makes them quit.

Don’t be one of them.

Take it one step at a time.

Real expertise doesn’t come from rushing. It comes from consistent, deliberate learning over years.

It comes from revisiting the same concepts and seeing them from new perspectives each time.

So trust your own pace.
Stay in the game long enough to connect the dots.

And one day, the same concepts that once seemed impossible will feel like second nature.

Just keep collecting buckets.

Best Programming Languages for Hacking:

1. Python
It’s no surprise that Python tops our list. Referred to as the defacto hacking programing language, Python has indeed played a significant role in the writing of hacking scripts, exploits, and malicious programs.

2. C
C is critical language in the Hacking community. Most of the popular operating systems we have today run on a foundation of C language.
C is an excellent resource in reverse engineering of software and applications. These enable hackers to understand the working of a system or an app.

3. Javascript
For quite some time, Javascript(JS) was a client-side scripting language. With the release of Node.js, Javascript now supports backend development. To hackers, this means a broader field of exploitation.

4. PHP
For a long time now, PHP has dominated the backend of most websites and web applications.
If you are into web hacking, then getting your hands on PHP would be of great advantage.

5. C++
Have you ever thought of cracking corporate(paid) software? Here is your answer. The hacker community has significantly implemented C++ programming language to remove trial periods on paid software and even the operating system.

6. SQL
SQL – Standard Query Language. It is a programming language used to organize, add, retrieve, remove, or edit data in a database. A lot of systems store their data in databases such as MySQL, MS SQL, and PostgreSQL.
Using SQL, hackers can perform an attack known as SQL injection, which will enable them to access confidential information.

7. Java
Despite what many may say, a lot of backdoor exploits in systems are written in Java. It has also been used by hackers to perform identity thefts, create botnets, and even perform malicious activities on the client system undetected.

10 Ways to Speed Up Your Python Code

1. List Comprehensions
numbers = [x**2 for x in range(100000) if x % 2 == 0]
instead of
numbers = []
for x in range(100000):
if x % 2 == 0:
numbers.append(x**2)

2. Use the Built-In Functions
Many of Python’s built-in functions are written in C, which makes them much faster than a pure python solution.

3. Function Calls Are Expensive
Function calls are expensive in Python. While it is often good practice to separate code into functions, there are times where you should be cautious about calling functions from inside of a loop. It is better to iterate inside a function than to iterate and call a function each iteration.

4. Lazy Module Importing
If you want to use the time.sleep() function in your code, you don't necessarily need to import the entire time package. Instead, you can just do from time import sleep and avoid the overhead of loading basically everything.

5. Take Advantage of Numpy
Numpy is a highly optimized library built with C. It is almost always faster to offload complex math to Numpy rather than relying on the Python interpreter.

6. Try Multiprocessing
Multiprocessing can bring large performance increases to a Python script, but it can be difficult to implement properly compared to other methods mentioned in this post.

7. Be Careful with Bulky Libraries
One of the advantages Python has over other programming languages is the rich selection of third-party libraries available to developers. But, what we may not always consider is the size of the library we are using as a dependency, which could actually decrease the performance of your Python code.

8. Avoid Global Variables
Python is slightly faster at retrieving local variables than global ones. It is simply best to avoid global variables when possible.

9. Try Multiple Solutions
Being able to solve a problem in multiple ways is nice. But, there is often a solution that is faster than the rest and sometimes it comes down to just using a different method or data structure.

10. Think About Your Data Structures
Searching a dictionary or set is insanely fast, but lists take time proportional to the length of the list. However, sets and dictionaries do not maintain order. If you care about the order of your data, you can’t make use of dictionaries or sets.
